Default Quick questions about the Descendant Exhaust

kinda new at this

If I slapped a Descendant Exhaust and Tein S-tech springs on my car, how bad would it scrap? or would it scrap at all? would i have to go slow over some humps? (basically how much caution should i take with these paired items?)

i know the TRD sits higher in the back, i was considering those because of scraping, but i really want the S-tech, TRD just doesn't seem lowered. Thats just me.

also would the Descendant Exhaust sound "better" with a Descendant Intake?

lol

Here is a pic with the descendant exhaust and tein s-tech's. There is no problems with clearance at all. As for the Intake...I dont have one yet. But the exhaust sounds great!

an intake has 0 effect on the exhaust sound, they're 2 totally different components of the car. and its scrape, not scrap.

What's more important to you? Looking cool or sounding cool?

I choose the drop first.
The stock exhaust doesn't sound horrible...
but the stock height.. the gap was horrible to me. I could fit like 4 fingers in it. I let her sit on the s-techs for a while and now it's down to 1 or 2 fingers. Muuuuuch better!
